The Reverend Jesse Jackson was holding a press conference in the applicance department of a Sears store in Chaicago.
He was there to protest the fact that all the washing machine were white.
The clek was upset because Jesse was whining, loud, abrasive, and obnoxious as is usual for him- and was driving customers away.
So the clerk called the store manager, who arrived and asked, "What's the problem here, Reverand?"
Jesse pointed at the machines and loudly bemoaned the fact that all ot them were white.
The manage replied, " Well, Reverend, it's true that all the washing machines are white; but if you'll open the lids you'll see that all the agitators are black"
